Mac Superglass Lip Gloss in Sugar Overload
I wanted a very neutral lip gloss and lipstick as I have seen Sandra Bullock in the red carpet this year when she was best actress - she had violet and silver makeup but her lips were totally “bare”, meaning it’s not really bare at all but her lipstick …
Watson’s Exfoliating Body Wash Kiwi Extract
I thought I’d try the Watson’s brand when I saw their products in one of the leading beauty and cosmetics stores here. It’s a local brand that’s mainly a drugstore but is now currently making their own beauty products as well. Packaging is really attractive and priced much lower …
Underground hair salon in Northampton MA
The Underground hair salon in Northampton looked like a little crap hole to be honest because the outside of this place wasn’t impressive at all and nothing to be amazed by. The place actually looked a little cheaply done up from the outside which was not a good thing …
Clinique All About Eyes Serum
Clinique has come out with a roll-on called “All About Eyes Serum” to minimize eye puffiness and dark circles. I love the brand and since, I am always on the look out for solutions to minimize my under eye bags, I decided to buy this for a hefty price …
Montagne Jeunesse Volume Miracle Conditioning Hair Mask
I have been a big fan of the Montagne Jeunesse range of face masques for years, but have never really taken much notice of their hair products before apart from when I try the odd one out to see what I’m missing. They’ve always been ‘nice’, but nothing special …
Liquid Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser
As I have mentioned in my other review I have submitted, I have always been a fan of facial wash, facial scrub and facial cleanser. I alternately use these products for my face since I don’t actually use bar soap to clean and wash my face.
After work, I usually …
Sheer Blonde Lustrous Touch Conditioner
I’ve used other John Frieda products before in the past and have always been pleased with them. I’ve used their Brilliant Brunette hair creme and love their Frizz-Ease products, so I decided to give their Sheer Blonde products a try to bring out my natural blonde highlights without having …
Noxzema Bikini Shavers
One word can describe this razor, ouch. For around $3 or $4 dollars you get 3 tiny razors. What makes these different from other razors is that they are much smaller and have a little comb on the front. Most razors give me razor burn and …
Clinique Happy body lotion
A light, modern scent with a citrus-y and floral blend, Clinique Happy is one of my most favorite body lotions. It is aptly named ‘happy’, although in my opinion bestowing the name of ‘Energizing’ upon it would not be out of place either. Research studies have shown that citrus …
Anthony Logistics Body Cleansing Gel - Eucalyptus Mint
My old body soap has been going quite smoothly on me until I discovered Anthony Logistics. Apart from trying other products, I have tried their body cleansing gel. Of all the things that I considered, I chose this, it is because this has eucalyptus mint. This kind of of …
Covergirl Trublend Whipped Foundation
Make up is suppose to make you look beautiful. This is one of the greatest creations that a woman has to be thankful about. More often than not, too much foundation would make you look old. There are various reasons why we we tend to cover our face with …
Motions damaged hair conditioner
I use Motions Damaged hair conditioners to condition my hair very well. I use it because I feel the it is really far better then any other conditioners. When I was doing the job, I had to travel every day and due to a lot of wind …
Lancome Le Rouge Moisturising Absolute Base
Before applying lipstick I like to apply a primer product, at one time I would simply use a quick drying moisturiser as a base for my lip make-up but since discovering Lancome’s Le Rouge Moisturising Absolute Base I haven’t found anything better!
The basic premise of the product is that …
Clearskin Professional Clarifying Toner Pads
As a young child, I always had problems with acne. Okay, so not a young child, but at least a young adult. As soon as I hit puberty I was overcome with breakouts. My skin started to get very oily and I was never really taught how to properly …
Morrisons Orchid White Shower Creme
Always one for a bargain when looking for shower gel or cream, I find myself scouring the personal hygiene shelves for the best deal. Even when some of the more popular brands are on offer they still can not compete with the supermarket own brands, which although much cheaper …
Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Softening Lotion
I have to wear work boots for over eight hours a day and my feet often feel tired and worn out. And I was walking down the shoe inserts isle at Wal-Mart and saw this product right next to my favorite inserts. I took this as a …
Watsons Milky Whitening Body Lotion
I purchased this brand when I was in a hurry to go home. This rich moisturizing lotion has a soft and mild scent. The squeezable container is filled with 400 mL of pure lotion. It says that it protects your skin from UV-A and UV-B rays. It has also …
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
In my opinion, the worst makeup products are the ones that make you look as if you are wearing too much makeup. You have probably seen girls who have makeup that looks like it was caked on or painted on with a paintbrush. I see it at least once …
Wet’n'Wild Photo Filter Foundation
Lately, I’ve been trying different cheap and cruelty-free products, because it’s easy to find a bomb cruelty-free product that costs $80, but it’s much harder to find one that costs $5 and does a good job too. Wet’n’Wild is famous for making affordable, but nice quality products and I was …
Dove White Beauty Bar
I was actually enticed to use Dove White Beauty Bar when I heard my church mate who was around 14 years younger than I am, speaking positive things about this product. The ladies of our church were then having some light moment and we were sharing what soap we …
Clinique Superbalanced Powder Makeup
I hate the brush that this product comes with. It is tiny and hard to maneuver so I do not use the brush that this makeup comes with. I switch to a fluffier Kabuki brush to apply this makeup. The makeup tin itself is like most other mineral makeups …
Epistick Facial Hair Removal
I am very conscious of the facial hair I have on my face. If you see them up close, I am sure you will find that I have moustache. It’s so ugly and makes me feel masculine. The facial hair also somehow makes my pores look extremely big. So …
Almay Intense i-Color Powder Shadow Trio, Play up the Green
Product: Almay Intense i-Color Powder Shadow Trio
Color: Play up the Green
As much as I loved the last Almay green eyes palette I tried, I was not at all impressed with this trio of dull, neutral eye shadows.
The lightest color, used for highlighting, is a peachy beige. It goes …
Bench Blackhead strips
Oily skin really is one of the main problems in all people specially during puberty and up. I have really oily skin, and it really follows, that with oily skin, there are usually blackheads and whitehead, usually around the nose area. The part that I most hate in my …
Sally Hansen Natural Beauty “Your Skin” Liquid Foundation
I recently purchased the Sally Hansen Natural Beauty “Your Skin” Liquid Foundation at CVS for only 6 dollars! This is definitely one of the cheapest liquid foundations I have ever purchased and unfortunately, it is also of very cheap quality. My curiosity got the best of me and I …
Revlon Fantasy Lengths False Eyelashes
I have always wanted to wear false eyelashes. In my opinion, no matter how great of a mascara a woman uses it can not create the same dramatic effect as eyelash extensions. While I have friends who religiously wear fake eyelashes, I personally have never worn them. …
Bare Escentuals Dark Bisque Concealer
I recently purchased the Bare Escentuals Dark Bisque Concealer. I had very mixed feelings about purchasing this. I have not been a fan of all the Bare Escentuals products that I have tried on my skin in the past, but I had heard such rave reviews about this particular …

Robert of Philadelphia Color Guard Shampoo
My strong advice is not to buy Robert of Philadelphia Color Guard Shampoo at all. I can deal with its positives quickly, and very quickly, and these are almost non-existent. I guess if I had to find something nice to say about this shampoo, I would say …
Avon Naturals Papaya and Kiwi 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner
From Avon I usually buy hair products, first of all because there’s so many of them and secondly most of them are really good and they smell great. I’ve tried papaya and kiwi yoghurt hair mask and I really liked the effect it had on my hair and also …
Smashbox Eyeshadow Trio
I love creating smokey eyes, either whether with blacks and grays or dark and light browns. This makeup trio definitely helps me create a great smokey eye when I want a brownish color. This little eye shadow container by Smashbox has 3 colors, a light brown which I use …
Conair InfinitiPro 1 in. Ceramic Flat Iron
Of all the different ways I style my hair, straightening it is one of my favorites! I used to think you had to pay a small fortune to get a quality hair iron. Not wanting to pay a lot of money, I originally settled for a cheap …
Revlon Anti-aging Pressed Powder
I’ve been trying different pressed powder available in the market but then I was not satisfied with the results, good thing I discovered a great pressed powder which gives the surface of the skin a perfect finish by covering fine lines and preventing it from being oily. This anti-aging …
Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil
I like shopping for different types of moisturizers that smell good. I am that person that walks around in the stores smelling different products.
I had seen something in the store that caught my eye. It was a brown bottle with a clear liquid inside. It had small bubbles in …
Montagne Jeunesse Hot Chocolate Self Heating Face Masque
I regularly use sauna face masques as I love the deep cleansing aspect, and also the fact that the warmth always feels extremely pampering. This Hot Chocolate Self Heating Face Masque from the Montagne Jeunesse range has a stunning fragrance and works wonders on my skin.Â
The smell of this …
MAC Powder Blush in Stunner

I first picked out this blush in the summer to give me a …
MAC Studio Fix Powder
I love this powder! It’s so great, the color matches my skin tone perfectly, and it always gives me a smooth even finish. I’ve been using this powder for quite some time now, and I have been satisfied with it ever since! I bought this when I was browsing …
Anna Sui Eye Gloss Eye Shadow
I usually have a difficult time trying to find eyeshadows. I have medium brown African American skin and most of the time I find that the products are not pigmented enough to noticeably contrast against my skin or they end up disappearing only after a few hours. …
Belo Essentials Sun Protection: SPF 40 Sunblock for the Face
I never step out under the sun without sunblock. This has been my mantra since I discovered sunblock a decade back. My skin was greatly damaged by my previous non-use of sun protection, and so when I started using one, I swore unfailing devotion to it. I read up …
Mark Cosmetics Mega Volume Next Day Spray
I have been ordering from Avon for years, and I’m always thrilled when I see new products in the book, as I pretty much have everything else. When I spotted the new line of Mark Cosmetics in my Avon book, I had to stop and take a peek. That’s …
Clinique Up Lighting Liquid Illuminator
I recently purchased the Clinique Up Lighting Liquid Illuminator from Nordstrom for about twenty five dollars. I purchased it in the shade “bronze,” but it also comes in the shades “natural” as well as “blush”. Because I have insanely oily skin, I prefer to use powder illuminators rather than …
Dollar Tree Foot Scraper to Remove Dead Skin
I had some really thick dead skin growing on the bottom of my feet. It not only bothered me, but my husband. That is when I decided that I needed to do something about it. My feet were getting really rough and would even get caught up in the …
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner
As a swimmer, my hair is constantly dried out and stiff because of the endless exposure to chlorinated water. Especially in the winter when practices come more often and I spend around four or five hours in the water daily, it is really necessary for me to find a …
Bath & Body Works Classics Lemongrass Sage Body Splash
Recently, a co-worker of mine, the same one who I mentioned before in previous review that sometimes sells bath and body works products, told me that she had a few products that she wanted to get rid of so she could get some new stock. Maybe about two …
MAC Haute and Naughty Mascara
I was attracted to the packaging of this mascara when I saw them at the store. I always appreciate good packaging and would normally buy a product I see if it has great packaging. I have a couple of MAC’s product and I know I have some hate and …
Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Spot Gel
I was having a breakout from a surge of stress from school when I ran out of my favorite acne gel. Thus, I bought Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Spot Gel as a substitute at our local drugstore. I had already been using other products from the brand, and …
L’OReal Paris Elseve Re-Nutrition Series
